    I agree with most but the owner information could be a step too far.

    Owners/CEO have the right to privacy too, they can have their registered office address public but in the past I have been the victim of it back when I first came into hosting

    You put the the owners personal name and city they live in, you get some internet tolls who maybe have their service removed for breaking the TOS or law, next thing you are are having hassle at your home or vile delivers.

    If you have verified yourself with eg companies house to register the company that should be enough, if there are problems of fraud or some other legal issues this can be followed the correct channels but from the voice of experience getting boxes of shit sent to your home, if the internet was a safe place and the world did not include utter nutters then sure but you need to consider both sides.

    Maybe if the details are needed to verify but are never actually pubic and are removed from the system after verification in case of a system breech that is an option but to have a list of the owners, their city's since its not hard to look up eg Jim Jones, approx. age 25-30 London

    Also if everything is public, just a book for data harvesters to annoy the fuck out of owners or spam them like crazy with irrelevant rubbish. Same happens when you register a brand new company, accounts, banks ect all send junk to you, would be this then some

    If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. ;)

    Don’t talk rubbish, would you welcome a random person who is unstable to your home, put your family at risk simply because you cancel their service for breaking the tos/law ?

    thats sick, indeed.

    That is patently false in general, and even moreso in the crazy world of low end hosting, where people will spend many days trying to destroy the reputation of some provider because they did something stupid and the provider cancelled their account and refunded the $2 per month they'd paid for it or something. Who knows what those kinds of people would do with access to the owner's name and home address.

    Ah... since just nice that someone mentioned about it, I am in the process of building a website relevant to this.

    I have been wanting to do this for a while, and has acquired relevant domains and social media etc but it just takes a while for me to plan and decide what are the scopes I want to cover.

    Not sure when it can happen but hope to receive supports from everyone once it is launched.

    Sounds like a great plan. Let me know if you need anything. :-)

    What would also potentially be interesting is if you could try to track both "company" and "owner"/"Associate(s)" where that info is available.

    While I can't speak for everyone, based on my observations, some people just don't really care about the company information or about the people running the company. What matters most to those is finding services that meet their budget and at the price point they are happy to pay for, even in the face of clear red flags.

    If a previously deapooled business returned under the same name, there would still be customers who would likely buy even if they don't explicitly mention or show it. Unfortunately, in this world of budget services, price is often the deciding factor and many customers will continue to choose and decide with their wallets as long as the service remains available to them.

    I thought there was going to be a provider directory created when the whole paid provider tag was introduced. Just a directory of provider name, business site, link to business registration and maybe a few basic comments about the provider/services offered.

    Never came to be, though.
